Geeza this is cheezy...

I can almost here them saying “And here to tell them what they’ve won...”

[RexBeach]

And the selectees are: Barack Obama, Michele Obama, Michael Moore, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, David Gergen, The Taliban and Joy Behar.

Congratulations, everyone!

It really is a “blue” panel..

I’d like to see a Red Ribbon panel made up of Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck go in and kick the Blue Ribbon panel’s ass.

Blue Ribbon Panel? With the exception of Kirk Cameron, this is a bunch of lefties (not that Shakira isn’t a good looking woman, but look at her causes). Tavis Smiley? Ted Turner? This is a liberal self-congratulation session at best.

[dalebert]

is this to honor military?

[GeronL]

Michael Jackson, Roman Polanski... etc etc

“Unbiased” CNN. LOL

Whoopi Goldberg is a conspiracy NUT who claimed that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked.

[a fool in paradise]

Ted Turner is an antiChristian bigot.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Real heroes list:

1) Inner city mentors who keep kids off the street and into college on their own merit——they do exist

2) Military Vets

3) People who run food pantries and do not live in wealthy gated communities

4) Parochial school teachers who teach rather than indoctrinate

10). Al Gore, for his earnest attempts to reframe the redistributionist agenda as an environmental issue.

9). Ted Kennedy, for allowing the has-beens to float that worn-out old Camelot metaphor one last time.

8). RINOs, for reminding us that we don’t have to run off the cliff when walking will get us there almost as quickly.

7). Barnie Frank, for paying such close attention to dangerous banking practices that he saved some of our most powerful institutions from the ridiculous burdens his colleagues placed on them to begin with.

6). Charlie Rangel, who needs a white cane and a guide dog to keep from falling over assets he seems to have overlooked.

5). Nancy Pelosi, whose heartfelt tears reminded us that those cretinous, fuddy-duddy Republican nazis were sullying the discourse and promoting violence with their stupid, dumbhead, poopy, and irresponsible rhetoric.

4). Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Even though he died 40 years ago, he provided a platform which libs can corrupt to this very day to silence any opposition.

3). Michelle Obama, for providing a palette upon which the Left can project its hopes of a New Camelot ... Minus the grace, dignity, and universality of the original

2). Benjamin Netanayhu, who gave Barack Obama a worthy sparring partner against whom he could test his vast foreign policy experience.

1). Barack Obama, for healing the sick, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and raising the dead. And for restoring faith among Lefties in a Higher Power.
